On November 4th (Fri), "Night Museum Talk & Pre-Tour Over GUTAI" was held.
The program was designed to watch the Special Exhibition “All Unknown Worlds: GUTAI Differentization and Integration” jointly organized by two adjacent museums in Nakanoshima, The National Museum of Art, Osaka and Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka, with a talk show from the curators in charge of both museums.
The program was first viewed from the exhibition hall in Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka with the guidance of Tomoeko Kinoshita, Associate Professor of Kaitokudo, The University of Osaka, 21st Century. In front of Atsuko Tanaka's "Bell" and "Electrical Clothes", I had the opportunity to actually experience the sound and light, and I was able to feel the avant-garde artistic expression of the time with my skin.
At 5:20 p.m., I moved to The National Museum of Art, Osaka and went around again with Mr. Kinoshita's guidance. Here, we were able to experience the unique works of Kazuo Shiraga and Sadamasa Motonaga, and the participants enjoyed the many creative expressions aimed at by the artists of the Gutai Art Association with interest.
At 6:00 p.m., a talk show was held at the Auditorium by Aya Kunii, Chief Curator,Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka, and Takashi Fukumoto, Senior Researcher, The National Museum of Art, Osaka. This means that the exhibition was held in two places this time, in order of Kunii and Fukumoto. In particular, under the theme of "differentiation" and "integration", there was a commentary related to the exhibited works on the significance of verifying the activities of the Gutai Art Association from an unprecedented perspective, and the participants seemed to be very convinced.
